Mondoweiss quotes H. Arendt on Zionism
Submitted by arendt on Thu, 03/07/2019 - 8:56amI'm on the road and too busy to write a complete essay. But this article by Phil Weiss (AIPAC: a self-loathing Jew) channels my muse, Hannah.
Omar’s critique goes to the nature of Zionism; and it was anticipated by the Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt. Arendt’s prophetic writings about Zionism in the 1940s described the “double-loyalty” issue for American Jews that Israel would bring on them, by compelling them to be “the lobbies” for an embattled Jewish state.

Hundred Monkeys My @ss!
Submitted by Tall Bald and Ugly on Wed, 03/06/2019 - 7:26pmSince this came up in a thread and I've read this and another similar article recently calling bs on it And more than one poster asked, I figured I'd do a brief post, show an excerpt and link the damn thing. While the article I'm linking is from 1985, I haven't found the other, more recent one, although the more recent one Quotes this one. Still with me? Yeah, me neither.
Anyway-
